earlier today i had sex and i am in a lot of pain. i have had sex several times before and yah, it hurt the first couple times but i've been having sex for a year now and i can't remember being in this much pain down there. it is sore whenever i sit down. i'm also scared b/c it hurts when i go to the bathroom. i know this can't be normal but i dont know what to do.

the pain is like inside my vagina... the burning feelings is on the oustide however...

Does your vulva look redder than usual or swollen? Your pain is external, right, not in your tummy or thereabouts?

For pain to occur so quickly after intercourse, I'm guessing you're either dealing with an allergic reaction or minor injury. Spermicide, a new lube, even latex (for some people) can cause seriouse irritation. Sex without enough lubrication, or that's rough or prolonged can cause pain too. You might find some comfort in alcohol-free aloe gel, or putting a cold, wet compress (think washcloth) on your vulva, and avoiding tight bottoms until it clears up.
